Chapter 216 215, Mingcai Is the Big Sister? Hahahaha

Chapter 216 215, Big Sister Akina? Hahaha~

The filming location of "Hachiko: A Dog's Tale" was set in an old house in Ueno, Tokyo.

Unlike the bustling Tokyo with tall buildings, Shitamachi is full of old streets and low houses. Only in such places can you find old houses from decades ago.

Yoshimura Otomo found a well-maintained single-family house and rented it after negotiating with the owner. He also made some renovations to facilitate filming.

In addition, other scenes such as stations and streets were also found in similar old neighborhoods.

When Naoki Nagayama arrived, the crew members had already arrived, and everyone was very familiar with how to shoot a movie:

Idou Shuichi and several leading actors discussed the filming schedule of the movie, Yoshimura Otomo was communicating with agents about schedules, extras, etc., and Masataka and Masaaki were arranging camera positions and handling various chores.

Everyone had a clear division of labor and performed their duties, except for Naoki Nagayama who was late.

"Private Marseille, Shuichi-san, Otomo-san, I'm late."

Ido Shuichi, who was discussing with the leading actors, turned around and said, "Stay late, it hasn't started yet."

If it were an ordinary actor or employee, they might have to bow and apologize at this time, but who said that the latecomer was the company's boss and film producer.

Yoshimura Otomo said beside him, "The fortune-teller will be here soon, and the opening ceremony can be held soon."

"Hey, I know."

Then he nodded to the actors next to him, "Shinichi-san, Kanako-san, you are all here~"

"Hi, good morning." "Naoki-san, good morning~"

Both of them have changed into the traditional kimonos of that era. Chiba Shinichi hid his strong body in the loose kimono, and he looked gentle, while Higuchi Kanako wore a pale blue kimono, dignified and intellectual.

The little girl in kimono next to her was naturally the famous new actress who had never been seen.

"And this is Miss Nana Okada, right? Nice to meet you. I am Naoki Nagayama, the screenwriter of this movie."

Naoki Nagayama had no impression of Nana Okada in his previous life. This was the first time he met Nana Okada.

The former idol with a baby face was obviously about the same age as Kanako Higuchi, but they looked like two generations apart. Even if she was put together with Akina Nakamori, they seemed to look the same.

"Hi, nice to meet you. I am Nana Okada. Please give me your guidance."

The voice sounded very mature and steady, not like a girl, but idols of the Showa era were almost all good at false voices, so it was hard to say what would happen during filming.

They had just met and didn't chat much. Naoki Nagayama and Kanako Higuchi talked about the movie she was filming recently and the recent situation of their mutual friend Yuko Tanaka.

"Yuko-chan is very busy right now. I want to ask her to go shopping but she doesn't have time." Kanako Higuchi's tone was a little angry that her bestie stood her up.

"I remember she was filming "Oshin", right?" Naoki Nagayama recalled, but he had never seen this TV series. He only vaguely remembered that it was a morning drama, "I heard it was a very long morning drama."

"Hey, it's said that there are more than 200 episodes, and Yuko-chan is also starring in "The Mystery of Amagi Gorge", so she is basically running around on the set every day."

Haha, this movie is the origin of Yuko Tanaka's famous line "Ani-san~". Naoki Nagayama thought of a certain clip in advance and almost laughed out loud.

"Naoki-san, what's so funny?" Kanako Higuchi looked puzzled, "What's wrong with Yuko-chan's movie?"

"Ah, nothing, it has nothing to do with Yuko-san, I just thought of something funny."

Yuko Tanaka is the only one who can be honored as the ceiling of pure desire by future generations because of a line.

Before Tongkou Kananzi could continue to ask questions, Yoshimura Otomo called out from a distance: "Mina-san, come here, the ceremony is about to begin."

Ah, it's the witch.

After the Chinese New Year, the witch, who is over 50 years old, has a ruddy complexion and is in good spirits. It seems that the last big red envelope must have been very generous.

This time, leaving the familiar environment and coming to Ueno to pray for blessings, it is estimated that Yoshimura Otomo is very sincere.

After placing the offerings on the table, as usual, there is a mysterious dance, and then some spells that no one can understand are recited. After a few rounds of magic instruments dancing, the witch said weakly: "The gods have accepted your offerings."

Then the witch finished her work, and Idou Shuichi, Yoshimura Otomo and Naoki Nagayama led all the crew members to burn incense, and the opening ceremony was completed.

It's finally time to start shooting!

The Akina Promotion Department is in a meeting. Terabayashi Chao, Tomioka Nobuo, Shimada Yuzo and other employees, as well as the staff of Ken-On are all in the conference room.

Ken-On's president, Hanami Kaku, is the one who snatched Akina Nakamori and was sure that she had the talent to become a top idol.

Said in the conference room: "Akina-chan's debut song didn't work well. Does Chief Terabayashi have anything to say?"

Terabayashi Chao nodded: "Akina-chan was too aggressive in promoting her, especially the purchase of magazine space, which is a loss-making approach. I will reflect on this."

"However, I still think Akina-chan's promotion route is correct. At a time when other idols are competing on TV stations, starting from offline small and medium-sized cities and accumulating popularity step by step is not wrong."

Hanamihe was noncommittal about this. After all, this promotion model still needs time to test: "So, have you thought about Akina-san's next song? What style are you planning to follow?"

In fact, what he wants to ask is whether the positioning of Akina Nakamori needs to be adjusted. Is this image of a somewhat sexy milk-white girl suitable for Akina's future development?

"Hey, we have already discussed this, and there will be some adjustments during the next song." Teran Chao said, "As for one's own image, Akinajiang's own wishes cannot be ignored."

Hana Jianhe was a little confused: "Akina-chan herself? Did she put forward any opinions?"

"Yes, I have always been dissatisfied with this image."

"That's it"

At this time, Tera Linchao suddenly cue Shimada Yuzo: "Shimada-kun, don't you have something to say?"

"Ah, yes." Shimada Yuzo took out a novel "Etaro" from his hand, "Gentlemen, stories about bad culture, school violence, bosozoku, etc. have already taken root among Japanese teenagers."

"This year's super hit "Sailor Suits and Machine Guns" shows that young people are unwilling to accept the status quo and are full of rebellious thoughts."

"So I think that if you want to change the image and style, maybe you can consider the direction of rebellious girls."

When he heard this, Hana Jianhe smiled: "Are you a big sister, Akina? Hahaha~"

"It sounds interesting, but is there really a market for it? And, will it conflict with the concept of idols?"

Si Linchao said at this time: "Actually, Mingcai Jiang is very popular among young people. This can be seen from the offline fans, and the sales of records are slowly picking up."

"In the eyes of adults in the media, Akina-chan may not be their perfect idol, but in the hearts of young people, Akina-chan is their idol! So maybe we should stand more from the perspective of young people. Let’s see what they like.”

This old fox! Hua Jianhe complained in his heart that he clearly supported the style of rebellious girls, but he said some high-sounding words.

"In that case, let's give it a try."

In the end, Hana Jianhe agreed.

No one expected that the first scene was shot in the mourning hall. Although the name of Chiba Shinichi was not written on the memorial tablet, this guy still ran to the corner of the set to smoke as if to avoid suspicion.

The half-grown Akita dog ran into the mourning hall under the guidance of the dog trainer, and then barked at the memorial tablet.

The other actors around had expressions of surprise and disbelief on their faces, and the wife played by Higuchi Kanako had tears in her eyes.

After filming the last movie, Shuichi Itou's shooting techniques became more and more proficient. Coupled with the efficient cooperation of his apprentice Masataka Komori, the entire filming process went very quickly.

The leading actors are all experienced actors, and they can often complete a scene in just two or three takes. During the entire filming process, the most troublesome thing was indeed the three Hachikos. Even with the help of professional dog trainers, NG The number of times is also increasing.

Nagayama Naoki and Itou Shuichi watched the footage behind the camera together,

"Naoki-san, it seems that the biggest problem in this movie will appear with Hachiko."

"Haha, Shuichi-san, what can you do? After all, they are the protagonists." Nagayama Naoki seemed to be a little irritable when he saw the puppies. "Xiusichi-san, dogs are different from people. They are not affected by Special training will not suppress your emotions. I think the three Hachikos are a little impatient. Is it time to take a rest? "

Itou Shuichi also looked at the state of the Akita dog and nodded: "Okay, let's take a rest!"

When the photography team dispersed and rested, Naoki Nagayama took Taro's puppy biscuits to visit the three Hachikos. After all, snacks are the most soothing thing for the soul.

Taking advantage of the break, Nana Okada chatted with Konanko Oeguchi: "Kananko-san, Mr. Naoki Nagayama, I remember he is an actor, right? Why does he seem to be the same as the director?"

"Naoki-san," Higuchi Kananko looked at the figures over there who were comforting several Hachiko, "Naoki-san is an actor, a screenwriter, a director, or a producer. In short, he is one of the biggest bosses on this set. If he Once you speak, even Director Yi Tang will obey.”

"Hey, is he such a powerful person?" Okada Nana has also tried to participate in several movies in the past few years when her popularity has declined. She is fully aware of the director's majesty on the set, "But Nanzi-san, we have known each other before. ?"

"Hi, we have worked together twice. Naoki-san was just entering the industry at that time." Konanko Okuguchi recalled the scene of their first meeting, "When we were filming a beverage commercial, I realized that Naoki-san was very talented."

Here, Konanko Oeguchi introduces Naoki Okada and Nana Asri Nagayama as if they are her own treasures, making this baby-faced former idol exclaim from time to time.

"There are already 3 hit songs? Each one is a big hit?!"

Returning to the recording industry, Nana Okada felt even more deeply. Composers who can reach the top of the Oricon charts are considered famous creators, and they still have three songs on the list in a row.

"Does Naoki-san accept creative commissions?" This outdated idol really wanted to ask Naoki Naoyama for a song.

"I haven't heard of it. I guess he won't accept it."

Kananko Okeguchi thought for a while, "It seems that he only writes songs for singers he likes."

"Is that so?" The girl looked disappointed.

At this time, Naoyama Naoki, who had finished playing with the three dogs, walked up to the two of them: "Kananko-san, Okada-san, what are you talking about?"

The two answered a little flustered:

"Ah, just some things in the script. "Performance techniques and so on"

"Huh? Weird." But Naoki Naoyama didn't think much about it, "Wait a little while and shoot a few more shots of Kananko-san and Okada-san interacting with Hachiko, and the morning shooting task will be almost over."

"Hi~"

The two looked at Naoki Naoyama, but didn't say anything, leaving him confused, and walked away after a few nonsense words.

"See, Naoki-san is really handsome! "After seeing that everyone had left, Okeguchi Kananko gossiped with Nana Okada.

Nana Okada's face also blushed slightly, and she nodded gently.

The two laughed cheerfully.

Back to the camera, Idou Shuichi asked Naoki Nagayama casually: "Have you told them about the filming? Why do you feel so depressed? Is there any problem?"

"No problem, it's just a little strange, Shuichi-san, can girls become good friends so quickly?" Naoki Nagayama looked at the two again, they were whispering and laughing happily.

Idou Shuichi shrugged: "I don't understand it either. I can't understand my wife's psychology at all. Sometimes I don't even know why she is angry."

"But it is said that if two girls have a topic that they are curious about in common, they will quickly become besties."

"Is that so?"

At the Toyota Motor Store,

the sales manager Hirayama Akihiro, who was about to get off work, was chatting with the store manager,

"Akihiro-san, how are the recent orders going? ”

“Hi, there are indeed three customers who bought the latest models and will pick up the cars tomorrow.”

“They are all the latest models, right? Fortunately, it is this kind of car. It is said that after the production line was improved, the output has increased greatly, so the cars will be available so quickly.”

“The output has increased greatly?” Hirayama Akihiro remembered the words of the young customer before, which had made him sleep poorly for a long time, “Has the output of luxury cars like Toyota Century also increased greatly?”

“How is that possible? Some accessories of this type of car need to be polished by hand, and the output cannot increase.” The store manager curled his lips, “There are still a large number of people waiting in line for the car!”

Hirayama Akihiro quietly probed: “Isn’t there a way to jump the queue?”

“That kind of indicator, either a political official or an entrepreneur, how can it be easily obtained.” The store manager said casually while looking at the documents, “Unless someone suddenly has something to do and doesn’t want it.”

Hirayama Akihiro’s eyes lit up. Is it possible to create such an indicator?

“Manager-san, have the performance indicators for this month been completed? Do you want to go out for a drink after get off work?"

"Eh? Akihiro-san, are you so interested? Of course!"
